Mounting

To mount a Pokemon, right-click on the Pokemon you wish to ride with no item in your hand. If you want to get off, press the shift button on your left. A saddle is not required to mount. Turning must be done with directional keys and can be somewhat difficult without practice. Mount speed cannot be altered. Pokemon will always travel in a straight line in whatever direction their head is aimed. Like horses, your mounts have health. The amount of health the Pokemon have as a mount is determined by how much it has normally. For example, a level 82 Dragonite will have more health than a level 1 Mareep.

Water Mounts

Water mounts typically function well on land. Their water travel is particularly quick. It is best to mount the Pokémon on land and then enter the water. Press spacebar in the water to swim. Once you release the spacebar, your Pokémon will go back to sinking, and you will constantly need to hold it down to stay afloat. Kyogre is recommended, as it's extremely fast and does not get in your view. Water mounts are the smallest variety of what you can ride.

Flying mounts

The jump button must be held in order to ascend. It's quite easy to control. Flying mounts are by far the most useful. The movement is very quick and snazzy once you get off the ground. There doesn't seem to be any stamina, so flight is unlimited. Highly recommended are Metagross and Golurk, Since you do not need to get onto their level to be able to mount them. Sometimes, pixelmon that hover require you to meet their level in order to mount. Fearow was removed from flying for some obnoxious reason.

Note: You WILL get night vision when you get underwater with a pokemon, if you do not like this, and are on a server where you are not opped, leave the game and come back. If you are, take effects from yourself with /effect {playername} {efffect} {amplifier-0} {time-0}.
